Vid hetsätning påverkas hela tillvaron av att man återkommande äter alldeles för mycket och känner att man har tappat kontrollen. Många gånger skäms man över sin situation och håller den hemlig. Men det finns effektiv behandling.

Att övervinna hetsätning är en självhjälpsmanual baserad på KBT som ger dig en bättre relation till mat, ätande och till din kropp. Författaren hjälper dig att förstå hetsätningens onda cirklar och varför det har blivit så svårt att ta sig ur dem. Du får kunskap om ätstörningar och vägleds genom behandlingen på ett tydligt och empatiskt sätt, med många exempel som ger igenkänning.

Manualen har utvärderats i forskning och har visat sig ha mycket god effekt. Du kan följa programmet på egen hand eller med hjälp av en terapeut eller en närstående.

Denna andra utgåva av Att övervinna hetsätning är uppdaterad och utvidgad. Den är en oumbärlig källa för dig som lider av bulimi, hetsätning och liknande tillstånd, liksom för närstående och för terapeuter som möter patienter med ätstörningar.

Den svenska utgåvan är fackgranskad av Ata Ghaderi, professor i klinisk psykologi vid Karolinska institutet, och han har även skrivit ett förord.

På ett fint och ödmjukt sätt förklarar författaren många frågor som rör ätstörningar. Det är lätt att känna igen sig och att ta till sig texten. Boken är välskriven, spännande och intressant.

In a relatively short period of time, cognitive behaviour therapy has become the leading psychotherapy in most Western countries. Much of the appeal and success of cognitive behaviour therapy is due to the close links between science and practice which characterise the cognitive behaviour therapy movement and to the demonstrated effectiveness of the treatment approach. This book, which is divided into two parts, illustrates the links between science and practice in modern Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Part One covers general issues and includes chapters on: The Evolution of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Stanley Rachman); The Foundations of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Michael Gelder); Information Processing Biases in Emotional Disorders (Andrew Mathews); The Relationship Between Cognition and Emotion (John D Teasdale); Efficacy and Dissemination of Psychological Treatment (David H. Barlow and Stefan G Hofmann). Part Two focuses on specific disorders and includes chapters on: Panic Disorder and Social Phobia (David M Clark); Generalized Anxiety Disorder (Adrian Wells and Gillian Butler); Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (Paul M Salkovskis and Joan Kirk); Eating Disorders (Christopher G Fairburn); Sexual Problems (John Bancroft); Depression (J Mark G Williams); Attempted Suicide (Keith Hawton) Hypochondriasis (Paul M Salkovskis and Christopher Bass); Cardiovascular Disease (Derek W Johnston) Atypical Chest Pain (Richard Mayou); Chronic Fatigue (Michael Sharpe); Problem-Solving Treatment in Primary Care (Denis Gath and Laurence Mynors-Wallis). Each of the chapters in Part Two outlines the current cognitive behavioural conceptualization of the disorder, reviews relevant research and describes current cognitive behavioural treatment procedures. The book will be of interest to clinicians and researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, as well as students and trainees in clinical psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy.

This book provides the first comprehensive guide to enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E), the leading empirically supported treatment for eating disorders in adults. Written with the practitioner in mind, the book demonstrates how this transdiagnostic approach can be used with the full range of eating disorders seen in clinical practice. Christopher Fairburn and colleagues describe in detail how to tailor CBT-E to the needs of individual patients, and how to adapt it for patients who require hospitalization. Also addressed are frequently encountered co-occurring disorders and how to manage them. Reproducible appendices feature the Eating Disorder Examination interview and questionnaire.CBT-E is recognized as a best practice for the treatment of adult eating disorders by the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
